...white-tiled receiving room of the Goiaz Evangelical Hospital, four sturdy men put down their burden: a moaning farmer who had been gored in the belly by a Zebu bull. Down the corridor at a dogtrot came Dr. James Fanstone. He lifted the banana leaf that protected the man's wound against flies. "Get this fellow into surgery," he said. An hour later, Dr. Jim reported that the patient was doing well. What had he done about the man's innards? "Oh, I just cleaned them off and shoved them back," he said, peeling off his rubber gloves...
Aftosa, First of All. Last summer Mexicans were rash enough to import 320 tickproof Brazilian zebu bulls. The bulls brought the dread aftosa, or foot-&-mouth disease. By last week an epidemic had spread through ten states, and excited patrons were refusing perfectly good steak in Mexico City restaurants.

A formalized antelope reminded visitors of the wall drawings of Cro-Magnon cave men. A group of storks and herons seemed to be millions of years old, to show atavistic traces of reptilian ancestry...
...unnecessarily brutal way they had handled a previous demonstration in City Hall Park (TIME, March 10) the 400 patrolmen on riot duty in Union Square were models of decorum during the first two hours of last week's monster demonstration. Conspicuous in the crowd was William Zebu-Ion Foster, No. i Communist in the U. S., and his chief aides-burly, white-haired Editor Robert Minor of the Daily Worker; dour-faced Israel Amter, local Communist organizer. Equally conspicuous was dapper Grover Aloysius Whalen, New York Police Commissioner, and his gold-laced bodyguard, Chief Inspector John O'Brien...
